2. FOR EARS: Make a template by cutting a triangle, about 1" tall, out of plain white paper. Contour bottom edge of triangle so it fits along curve of pumpkin. When you achieve a shape you like, use template to cut 6 identical shapes out of black construction paper or card stock. Make a template for orange inner ear by trimming edges of white template down until it's slightly smaller all around than black triangles. Place template on orange construction paper or card stock and trace around it; cut out 6 triangles. Glue orange triangles to black triangles. To glue ears to head, make a bead of glue along curved edge of ears and attach to top of pumpkins on sides of stem.
